Miracle worker, magician, artist, visionary, friend, and stylist are the many hats Veronica Monto has worn since we met more than 6 years ago when I was first introduced to her scissors and creativity. Veronica has gone to many lengths with me ranging from short and sassy to long and lovely. She never disappoints with delivering a hairstyle that is on point every single time. It's easy to feel comforted that you are in competent and extremely capable hands when you are in Veronica's chair. From the cut to the conversation, you will be rejuvenated and revived after an appointment with her. Plus, she possesses impeccable skills when creating an up-do or blow-out for the most special of occasions to "dazzle" at dinners, "glow" at galas, and "wow" at weddings. Now that Nina and Veronica have teamed up, I can't imagine a more dynamic duo in the beauty arena. After being disappointed over and over again by other make-up artists having strange approaches to my fair skin paired with strawberry blonde hair, I have been AMAZED by Nina's remarkable capabilities. I welcome drama on my face, particularly with my eyes, and she delivers with the stroke of her brushes with skilled artistry. She is also mindful to go as bold or natural as you want based on your needs, lifestyle, and/or event. When I need to dress to impress, Nina is the first person I turn to in order to feel radiant from the inside out with lovely lashes, complimentary contours, and luscious lipstick for a long-lasting look. read more

Veronica is simply the best around! Not to exaggerate, but I'd probably have to go live in a cave if I didn't have her. I have a lot of hair with very temperamental bangs, and she is the only one who knows how to cut and style my hair to make it look how it should. I've seen her work with other clients as well, and she really listens to what you like and want the result to be as well as offers helpful suggestions to get you there. I think that trust is one of the most important things to have with your stylist, and not only do I trust Veronica, I think that anyone would within a few minutes of working with her and seeing what she can do for you! Even if you're just getting a trim or experimenting with something new, she takes the time to discuss the process and result beforehand to make sure that you are comfortable. Plus, on top of the amazing work she's done on my hair, she even goes out of her way to teach me how best to blow dry/style her beautiful work to make it last even longer, like a fairy hair godmother of sorts. I would honestly follow her anywhere, so it's a wonderful bonus that Beauty Mark is such a wonderful, cozy, and well-decorated spot as icing on the cake. Everyone is super nice and helpful, and I recommend it to everyone I know. :) read more

Brandi did my spray tan and she was amazing! I was pretty apprehensive about the whole process as I've never had one done before, but she was so sweet, professional & well educated in what she was doing that my concerns were almost immediately put at ease. I was most nervous that I would leave the salon looking like an oompa loompa but instead I left with a beautiful bronze-y glow that developed into an even more gorgeous sun-kissed color the next day. The salon itself is so cute and very clean. I was offered refreshments when I first got there (although perhaps they should consider adding champagne or wine to that list; who doesn't like a little bubbly when getting beautified?! Then again, it was only noon so maybe I'm just an alcoholic? Brandi probably sensed that, and was just looking out for your girl -- like I said, she's amazing ;-)). They offer several other services that I hope to try out whenever I am in the area and need a cosmetic pick-me-up. I would highly recommend this salon, Brandi, and their services to everyone! You will NOT leave here disappointed! read more

This place is amazing! I work in the town center and I found this little gem while walking around on my lunch break in desperate need of a haircut. And I am SO glad I did! The first time I stopped by, I had my hair cut by Brandi and she did an awesome job! I have really fine, straight hair and she took her time and gave me tips on how to give it more volume. I left feeling great about my hair and knew I'd be back. The second time I had a haircut by Jammie and she is fantastic! I gave her very little direction but she knew exactly what to do with it. Probably the best haircut I've ever had. I've not tried any of their other services (makeup, spray tan etc.) but I wouldn't hesitate to if the need arises. Nina (the owner) has been there both times I've been and I could really tell this salon is her baby. Everything is carefully thought out and the everyone is always so friendly. From the service, to the interior decor, this place is top notch and they continue to exceed my expectations every time I go. read more

Nina is amazing! She tattooed my eyebrows PERFECTLY. Now I have a beautiful, full brow where I had thin sparse light hairs before. Her hair stroke technique is UNMATCHABLE and to top it all off she is the sweetest person on the face of the planet. Her skills don't stop there - not only does she do amazing permanent makeup and Microblading- her spray tans give my pale white skin a beautiful bronze glow that doesn't make me look orange like all the booths do at other places. She does eyelash extensions for beautiful thick full lashes and get this - EYEBROW EXTENSIONS for those who aren't up for the tattoo! Don't even get me started on her makeup skills....move over Mario Dedivanovic NINA IS IN THE HOUSE! I can only hope to get married one day just so I can have this master makeup artist do my makeup!! If only I could fit Nina in my pocket and take her everywhere with me... She's literally the best at everything she does. Absolutely no place like this on the DMV area, or anywhere. read more

Lashes by Raquel! In a word,amazing! First off the place is beautiful! I walked in and was immediately greeted and asked if i wanted coffee water or any refreshments. I opted for coffee. The salon is immaculate and perfect for a day of pampering! Raquel quickly came out and seated me in the comfy recliner. Even came with a warmed bean neck rest. She went through a thorough consultation with me and looked at my eye shape and width and knew exactly what would look best for me. She was meticulous and took her time. I didnt feel rushed at all. When i was finished and she gave me a mirror to look, i had the biggest smile on my face. Let me tell you...i dont need any eye make up i can just get up and go. What a difference the lashes make to your eyes and whole face. And they look natural and not over done. I am so pleased and cannot wait to come back for my fill. I dont think i can live without these lashes now. Thank you Raquel you rock! read more

I have had an amazing experience each time I have been to Beauty Mark. I was in need of a spray tan for a ball I was attending and came across a review for Spray Tans by Veronica. Every review I saw had great things to say about Veronica and the salon so I decided to give it a try. She did not disappoint, the tan was even ,looked natural and I felt comfortable and at ease the entire time. I enjoyed my experience so much that I booked Veronica for my up-do a few days later on the day of the ball. Veronica did an amazing job again! I loved it so much I went back for cut, color and highlights by you guessed it Veronica! This was a big move for me as I have been going to see my hairdresser for years. It is hard to find someone who can handle my curls. I have received so many compliments on my hair! I can't wait to go back. Thank you Veronica! read more

Nina is Amazing! She is an incredibly talented artist, and I am not even kidding she has changed my life. Her knowledge on skin care, artistry with threading and permanent makeup is beyond perfection. Did I mention she does the best eyelash extensions ever! Seriously, after having my twin girls I was in need of a major make over. Nina has left me with glowing skin, perfect lashes, and eyebrows. I literally wake up feeling glamorous, and don't need to wear any makeup. She is super sweet, and so down to earth that you will instantly feel completely comfortable with her, and know that she will personalize a look that is best for you. She is crazy talented, and I highly recommend Beauty Mark by Nina. read more

Beauty Mark made me feel like a "Queen" during my recent visit. I had an appointment with Veronica, who, very artistically turned my tired, dry, out of shape hair into a work of art. Thank you Veronica, and all of the staff at Beauty Mark for making my break from reality so enjoyable. Your complementary beverage, hand wrap, and photo were an unexpected surprise and greatly appreciated. If you're looking for a salon that will leave you feeling uplifted give Beauty Mark a call. P.S. I have received so many complements on my hair style. I put my trust in the stylist Veronica to give me a style that would be right for me. I couldn't be more pleased! read more

I recently got a permanent makeup tattoo for my eyebrows.....I have been receiving compliments since I've left my appointment! I had a guy stop mid-conversation to compliment my eyebrows! Even when it began peeling (due to the healing process) I still received compliments. The establishment is beautiful and welcoming. Very relaxing environment and just great customer services (though painful, the friendly conversation and constant care made this possible....note this was my first tattoo). I would recommend this place to anyone...actually I have a few friends thinking about getting this tattoo. read more

Brandi is the best at cutting my hair! She always delivers the perfect cut for my fine/curly hair and takes the time to ask me questions and work with me. I've had so much trouble finding a stylist to cut my indecisive hair-- one day it's frizzy, the next it's curly, then it's wavy, etc. etc....She always gives me the best tips on what to do with my hair type and which products to use and she puts so much extra effort into sharing her knowledge. I also feel extremely pampered when I go here. The salon itself is such a glamorous and relaxing place. Very happy that I've found this place! :) read more

Husband and I went for our first spray tan experience ever. We both had Brandi who was very professional, thorough, and talented. She made us feel comfortable while you're standing there in an awkward position with pretty much nothing on. Results were spectacular and sufficient education was given on how to care for our new tans. The cherry on top was the price. Beyond reasonable for being in MoCo and you get 20% off of your first service (way more than even a lot of military discounts in places)! Highly recommend this gorgeous and clean salon for any of your needs. We will be back! read more

I use both Nina and Veronica and I love them! Nina has a way to make everyone look and feel beautiful. She is extraordinarily talented at what she does and she truly cares. She is also extremely attentive to the details and she has a great eye. Now for Veronica... you know when sometimes you walk out of a haircut and you feel unsure about the cut? With Veronica... every time I walk out of a haircut I know my hair looks its best. I fully trust her ability to give me great hairstyles. They are wonderful people and a great team! read more

First time visiting Beauty Mark and I have found my hair salon! The salon is beautiful and well decorated. The owner is personable and sweet. Raquel gave me my hair cut. She took the time to understand what I want to do for my hair (I'm a bride trying to get my hair in good shape before the wedding!) and explained everything she planned to do to help me towards my goal. She was amazing from start to finish. She helped give my hair life and body without sacrificing my length. I highly recommend this salon and Raquel!! read more

At Beauty Mark by Nina, Veronica has truly found the place to utilize her amazing styling skills and continue to grow! She has been my stylist for over five years and I can't imagine working with anyone else. I prefer low maintenance hair styles, given my wavy-curly hair this is not always the easiest to achieve, but her cuts and styling bring out the best in my hair and I am always thrilled with her work! She is definitely my go to person for all things style, fashion and beauty! read more

This salon was amazing. Jammie Sue did a magnificent work with my hair. I think I have never ever in my life left a salon feeling so good about my hair. She knew exactly what I needed and ended up being exactly as the picture she showed me. She was amazing I recommend her 100%. Great asset to the salon. Jammie Sue really talented. I will definitely keep on going. In fact this is my first review ever, I really needed to say how good she is. read more

Nina saved my face. My entire face--- because without brows, what else do you have? She meticulously shapes and constructs (really, re-defines) your brows. Her masterful technique is well-noticed, drawing compliments from women I encounter daily. You know when you walk into a nail salon for a pedicure, and they try to up-sell you, asking if you want your eyebrows waxed? Now they just ask me who does mine. :) read more

I always hesitated on getting my lashes done, but I'm so happy I did! #gamechanger Raquel was super amazing. She did a thorough consult with me, going over what kind of lash would best suit me, maintenance etc. Im hooked!! I kid you not I have received so many compliments on my lashes!! I cant wait to go back for my fills. As a plus it's gorgeous clean place every girl should put on their beauty radar! read more

From the moment I walked in I felt comfortable and at ease. This place is cozy and well put together and the staff makes you feel immediately welcome. I got a spray tan with Brandi and it was great. She not only sprayed me to the perfect color, but also contoured and paid attention to every little detail. Not to mention it's a great price to have someone personalize a tan for you! read more
